This article discusses the differences between pudding and mousse, emphasizing their contrasting textures due to different cooking techniques and ingredients. Pudding is denser and thicker, made with cornstarch, whereas mousse is light and airy. Victoria Johnson, head chocolatier at Temper Chocolates, explains that both egg whites and whipped cream can be used as aerators in chocolate mousse but serve different culinary purposes. A mousse made with whipped cream is richer, while one made with egg whites is lighter, allowing for a more intense chocolate flavor.
Mousses made with whipped egg whites have a fluffier and more delicate texture. Egg whites provide more volume but result in a mousse that isn't as rich.
If you want a rich, indulgent mousse, go with a cream-based mousse. If you prefer a lighter, lower-fat option, an egg-white-based mousse is the way to go.
